The Complete Mystery of Madeleine McCann™

Kate McCann's lawyer Carlos Pinto de Abreu: ''If you were Portuguese this would be enough to put you in prison''

Don't slag Hislop off too soon, Okeydokey. The reason he doesn't comment is that he wishes Private Eye to continue publication, and one step out of line and he will be sued to the hilt. Mr Justice Tugendhat would just love that to happen. His reluctance to comment is due to practical/legal/financial survival reasons... nothing to do with being from 'an old military family'... There may come a time when all the stuff he has on this case can be printed in the mag, but who knows for sure which way the wind is blowing right now.

A lot of subscribers (like me) have written to protest about the absense of McCanniana in Hislop's mag. It just ain't on right now. He is not shy of criticising the powerful, whether from left right or centre, but I guess he would not like to see the mag go under, as in nearly did in the Goldenballs era. (Anyone old enough to remember that edgy extended episode.)

He is aware of a huge amount of stuff in this case, as it has been supplied over many years.I would guess there is a centre 16 page pull out already in their computer

Manuel Catriano: "This story did not begin in the Ocean Club resort, but in London where the official truth was conspired and established: an English girl was kidnapped in the Algarve.”

After forensic analysis of the 'Last Photo' there is little doubt now that the pool photo CANNOT POSSIBLY have been taken on Thursday 3rd may, but most likely on Sunday 29th April.So where was Madeleine McCann at lunchtime on Thursday?

Eddie and Keela alerted to items and places concerned with the McCanns - and importantly to no other items or places including the childrens' bedroom.

According to Eddie and Keela, the body of Madeleine McCann lay lifeless behind the sofa in Apartment 5a, clinging to the only thing from which she could derive any comfort; a soft toy called 'Cuddle Cat'.

Kate's book 'madeleine', Page 219: "Did they really believe that a dog could smell the ‘odour of death’ three months later from a body that had been so swiftly removed?"

Operation Grange detectives dig for Madeleine's body in Praia da Luz.

Dr Gonçalo Amaral, retired PJ Coordinator: "The English can always present the conclusions to which they themselves arrived in 2007. Because they know, they have the evidence of what happened, they don't need to investigate anything. All this is now a mere show off. When MI5 opens their files, then we will know the truth."

Ex-Met DCI Colin Sutton, who had been to Praia da Luz several times for various newspapers: "The most likely scenario is that Madeleine was stolen to order by slave traders and smuggled into Africa for a rich family who wanted a white child."

Ex-MET DCI Andy Redwood had a "revelation moment" on BBC1's Crimewatch on 14th October 2013 when he announced that Operation Grange had eliminated the Tanner sighting - which opened up the 'window of opportunity', in accordance with their remit, to allow the fake abduction to happen.

Tracey Kandohla: "A McCann pal told The Sun Online: “Some of the savings have been siphoned off from the Find Maddie Fund into a fixed asset account, like a breakaway fund, which financial experts have advised them to do. It can be used for purchases like buying a house or building equipment."

Gerry McCann called for an example to be made of 'trolls'. SKY News reporter Martin Brunt doorstepped Brenda Leyland on 2 October 2014 after she was singled out from a Dossier handed in to Police by McCann supporters. She was then found dead in a Leicester hotel room the next day. Brenda became the very symbol of what can happen to people who dare to criticise Kate and Gerry McCann. Brenda paid the price.

Asst Chief Constable Leics Police, Roger Bannister: "While finding that much of the material was extremely distasteful and unpleasant in nature, it was determined that none of the messages/postings constituted a prosecutable offence."
